Ingredients:
For the Crepes:
250g plain flour
4 eggs
60g melted butter
550ml milk
Pinch of salt
Lemon Curd:
125ml lemon juice
Zest of 2 lemons (only the yellow part, avoid the white pith)
250g caster sugar
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
100ml milk
160g unsalted chilled butter (cut into cubes)
Cream Filling:
250ml cream
150g icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Topping:
Blackberries
Instructions:
Step 1 : Crepes: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, melted butter, milk, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter sit in the fridge for at least two hours.
Step 2 : Lemon Curd: In a pot, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, caster sugar, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and milk, leaving out the butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, making sure not to overcook the eggs. As the mixture thickens, start adding the chilled butter cubes gradually, continuously mixing until fully incorporated. Once it reaches a desirable thickness, remove from heat and strain the curd to ensure smoothness. Transfer the curd to a container, placing a layer of cling film directly on top to prevent a skin from forming. Allow to cool in the fridge.
Step 3 : Cream Filling: In a bowl, whip together the cream, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until firm peaks form. Set aside.
Step 4 : Cooking & Assembly: Heat a buttered pan over medium heat. Pour a ladle of crepe batter into the pan, swirling to spread it thinly. Cook until golden, then flip and cook the other side. Once cooked, spread a generous amount of lemon curd over half the crepe, dollop with the cream filling, and fold over. Serve topped with fresh blackberries. Enjoy your delightful crepes with lemon curd cream and blackberries!
